And there's the issue of keeping moondust out of the lungs of
astronauts. When they go back inside after spending all day digging
around the outpost on the Moon, and come back in all dirty. Then the
dust falling off the suits as the astronauts undress once under air
pressure. It'd be a bit like breathing that dust and grit (containing
micro shards of window glass and gypsum sheetrock just after 911 at
Ground Zero in NYC).
